Eggs A La Paloma Recipes

CHILIQUILES A LA MEXICANA DE SALSA MORAS

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup of oil into a skillet and fry tortillas until they are very crispy, set aside. Drain some of the oil and add the peppers, tomato and onions and saute for 10 seconds. To this mixture add 2 eggs and scramble together, sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top and cover to melt. Garnish with cilantro, salt to taste. This dish can be complimented with beans a la charra and fried potatoes. Can be served for breakfast or brunch.

PALOMAS

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup salt on a small plate. Run a wedge of grapefruit around the rim of 4 glasses to moisten the rims. Lightly dip the rims in the sugar mixture and set aside to dry.
• Combine the grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice, sugar syrup, and a pinch of salt together in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker 1/2 full with ice and pour in the drink mixture. Shake the cocktail shaker for 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink. Pour into the 4 prepared glasses, add a few ice cubes, and a wedge of grapefruit and serve ice cold.
• To make sugar syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the mixture is clear. Cool and refrigerate indefinitely.

SCRAMBLED EGGS à LA PROVENçALE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, and fresh tomato sauce and whisk together.
• Heat a heavy saucepan or nonstick skillet over low heat and add the olive oil. When it is hot (but not too hot - this is gentle cooking), add the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a rubber spatula. Cook slowly over low heat, stirring gently and scraping the eggs from the bottom of the pan with a heatproof rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, until the eggs are just set. Stir in the basil or chives. Serve hot, with toast.
